Keep the Wind in Your Sails

Hi everyone!  It's day 2 (of 5) of MFT Teaser Time!

I used the new Flopsey stamp set - Smooth Sailing.  I love the smaller-than-usual scale with the cool sailboat.  The sail just BEGS to be paper-pieced, so who am I to deny that?


I found some crazy-patterned Basic Grey patterned paper with "travel" types things on the patterns, so I went literal and used it for my little Flopsey Sailor.  Paper-piecing that striped paper was NOT EASY.  LOL  I could barely tell where the line was.  I used the soon-to-be-released Flat-Bottom Clouds and Catch a Wave Die-namics dies.  LOVE them.  The clouds are so cute and trendy.  And of course anytime felt is involved it's doubly cute, I think.  The Catch a Wave die is the PERFECT size.  You can create plenty of overlapping waves.


Here is a peek inside.  I used a sentiment found in the set (and another wild print from the patterned paper pack).  :)


Super cute new dies: (you can buy these on February 1st)
